Mobile payment is becoming more and more popular among consumers (Li, 2015). Mobile payment is changing people's consumption patterns and ways of payment. Although the traditional business model and pattern still occupy a large market share, the impact of e-commerce on people's consumption concept and consumption behavior can’t be underestimated. For the vast number of consumers, the behavior of "mobile payment", especially for young consumers, almost happens every day in their lives, meeting their different needs. According to the statistics report on the development of China Internet network, the scale of mobile phone users in China reached 772 million by the end of December 2017 (China Internet Information Center, 2017), and China Internet financial report (2017) showed that by December 2017, the number of mobile phone users in China reached 527 million, the annual growth rate was 11.9%, far higher than that of bank card receipts and interconnection. The overall situation report on the latest payment system issued by the official website of the Central Bank of China shows that in 2017, China's banking financial institutions dealt with 152 billion 580 million electronic payments, with a total amount of $372 trillion and 200 billion. Among them, the online payment business 48 billion 578 million, the amount of 319 trillion and 240 billion dollars. The number of entries increased by 5.20% compared to the same period last year, the amount dropped by 0.47% compared with the same period last year. The mobile payment business was 37 billion 552 million, with an amount of $31 trillion and 220 billion, up 46.06% and 28.80% respectively (China Central Bank, 2017). With the development of mobile payment services, the giants of the internet war games include Tencent, Alibaba and Baidu, and also have a rising star to divide the big cake of mobile payment. If we want to win the top spot, we must make a deep study of the characteristics of consumers. According to Ipsos's recent survey of Internet users' behavior, mobile payment business presents the following characteristics: (1)Some new mobile payment businesses have become popular stars, and are slowly developing their own popularity. (2)Consumers still attach great importance to safety, and there is a tendency to pay more attention to safety with age. (3)The use of preferential policies and attracting propaganda means a more effective for people under 30 years of age (Ma, 2014). The development of mobile payment is in full swing. There are few scholars in our country to divide and study the mobile payment people, especially for the working people and students. Based on this, the author tries to influence the user's mobile payment from four aspects, such as personal, security, mobile equipment, APP and society. The factors of behavior were analyzed by (Yan, 2013). In order to explore the problems that mobile payment should pay attention to in the process of development and improvement. 1.2 The purpose and significance of the study 1.2.1 The purpose of the study (1)Enhance the connotation of mobile payment business development, find the main factors that attract consumers for the third party payment institutions, thus provide guidance for the development practice, help the mobile payment industry chain and some confused consumers to strengthen the understanding of mobile payment.

Mobile payment business is permeating our daily life, more and more consumers have begun to use multiple mobile terminals, not only using a certain device, using desktop computers in the office, and other terminals with tablet computers, hand-held computers and mobile phones. Therefore, consumers who have always been weak, scattered, and passive have become knowledgeable, widely connected and proactive. Consumer demand is the ultimate driving force for the development of mobile payment business. Consumer dominance has increased unprecedentedly, and niche market and long tail market have huge space. In the era of mobile scene fragmentation, consumer choice of goods or services in accordance with the established route, with the wide application of intelligent terminals, the popularity of Internet application customer habits, especially WeChat, Alipay and other software products, attracting a large number of users, but also greatly user identity. 1.3 The main content and structure of this article 1.3.1 The main contents of this paper Chapter one: preface.
